Press

The scattershot sketch show with the odd musical number continues, and while Ullman's portrayal of Judi Dench as a compulsive hellraiser insulated by her national treasure status is a solid, repeatable gag, it almost overshadows her impeccable impersonation of Maggie Smith (here reimagined as an eager-to-please YouTube vlogger). Elsewhere, Nicola Sturgeon goes to great lengths to get the Angela Merkel look.
